Question 1082860: Listed below are systolic blood pressure measurements (mm Hg) taken from the right and left arms of the same woman. Assume that the paired sample data is a simple random sample and that the differences have a distribution that is approximately normal. Use a 0.10 significance level to test for a difference between the measurements from the two arms. What can be concluded?
Right arm
142
131
137
133
133
Left arm
167
160
175
137
139

This is a paired t-test with df=4
The differences are 25,29,38,-4,6
Here, a t-test is done with only df=4, but the variability is only in the BP for one person, not 5.
The critical value is |t|>2.776
the actual value is x bar=20.4, s=14.8
t=3.073
p-value is 0.037
This is significant at the 0.10 level.
